Till It’s Gone

[Verse 1]
From the neon light of a liquor store
To a flashing motel sign
I bought a room and did my best
To disappear inside
I took the phone off the hook
And put the sign out on the door
Opened up that bottle
And let it pour
'Til it was gone

[Verse 2]
Grabbed an ashtray from the dresser
Lit a cigarette
I turned off the TV
And laid down on the bed
I smoked one to the filter
And I watched the ashes fall
Blew smoke rings at your memory
As it danced across the wall
'Til it was gone

[Chorus]
I burned up all my chances
Like this book of motel matches
And the guilt cuts through the night
Like a knife cuts to the bone
'Cause when you got no pride to spend
The heartache has no end
Just let those demons loose and just hold on
Just hold on

[Verse 3]
The morning showed no mercy
As the sun bled through the blinds
Silent films of you and me
Flashed behind my eyes
I shook off the whiskey
But I could not shake the fact
I was a fool
Didn't know what I had
'Til it was gone

[Chorus]
I burned up all my chances
Like this book of motel matches
And the guilt cuts through the night
Like a knife cuts to the bone
'Cause when you got no pride to spend
The heartache has no end
Just let those demons loose and just hold on
Just hold on
'Til it's gone
'Til it's gone
